Mad About the Boy was a game run two times in Norway in 2010 inspired by the the comic series Y: The Last Man.

In the first round with only female participants (except one). In the second run men where allowed to participate but would the play female characters.

The game was organized by Tor Kjetil Edland, Margrete Raaum and Trine Lise Lindahl.

Summary

Mad about the Boy is a larp about survivors of a global disaster that killed more than half of humanity. An inexplicable disease killed all the men in mere minutes. The surviving women are facing not only the enormous task of rebuilding society, but also the possible extinction of humanity.

The world of the larp is inspired by the graphic novel Y the Last Man by Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra. The larp does not use any characters or storylines from the graphic novel. Our story is about a group of women who have applied to an insemination program initiated three years after the disaster. As sperm has become a very precious resource, there are only a few women who will be given this privilege.
